Vitiligo develops when genetic and environmental factors contribute to the autoimmune destruction of melanocytes(source). This means that� it?s not something you just *happen* to get?like the flu or something. Instead, it?s something you have a genetic predisposition for, and it?s brought to life by a combination of factors. Vitiligo predispositions are largely triggered, maintained, and kept under control by environmental factors, namely, your diet, lifestyle, and how much stress you experience. UV treatment can be done only after it stops spreading and is stable.
